Navigation

Chart of Uç Passage - Chartlet

Approaching the Çesme Harbor from the Aegean or approaching the Setur Çeşme Marina and other anchorages in the Gulf of Ildir from the gulf is straight forward and with out dangers but:

Danger: Care must be taken when going from the Aegean to the gulf of Ildir. There are many reefs and shallow areas.

The Uç Burunlar Passage

Going through the tricky Uç Burunlar Passage saves time and distance. At first glance, it seems hopeless because many of the reefs are just below the surface and are very hard to see. The trick is to move very slowly and carefully along an S shaped course. From Çesme to the Gulf of Ildir proceed as follows:

  1. Head N towards Toprak Adasi
  2. When you are half way between Toprak Adasi and Uç Burunlar Point turn right heading E
  3. After coming abreast of Uç Burunlar Point turn right and head SE
  4. When your abreast the middle of the cove to your S turn left heading NE
  5. When you are past the E point turn right and head S.

Entrance

Boats checking-in or out of Turkey should contact the Harbor Master, Health (accross the street from the harbor), Customs, and Passport Control (on the SW entrance of the harbor).

Berthing

On the Aegean side, there is the old Çesme Harbor and on the Ildir side, there is the Setur Çeşme Marina (Golden Dolphin Marina) and several small harbors which mostly cater to local boats.

Çesme marina (Camper and Nicholsons) completed in 2011 is excellent. Contact on CH72 and boat boys will lead you to a dock with laid lines. Shoping for famous clothing brands and eating fastfood or dinner in luxury restaurants in the marina is very fashionable. For details see Çesme Marina.

Places to Visit

The Çesme Castle

Other than the local area which has many pleasant day anchorages, one can visit Izmir about 1 hour by car.
